Equality

The NHS Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Screening Programme has published our Single Equality Scheme 2010-2013, which demonstrates our commitment to putting equality at the heart of everything we do – from developing policy to supporting the delivery of services. The Scheme also ensures that we fulfil our statutory duties under the Equalities Act (2010). This is the first Single Equality Scheme developed by an English national Screening Programme, and builds and expands on work we have already done to promote equality and diversity, brings together different strands of that work, and emphasises our core purpose – to provide an effective and appropriate screening programme. We will be monitoring and publishing our progress against the Action Plan. We hope that the Single Equality Scheme will be helpful to other screening programmes developing their Equality Schemes.

We are grateful to service users, carers and the voluntary sector as well as the wide range of professionals who deliver and manage services, who helped us enormously to develop our Single Equality Scheme. This Scheme will continue to evolve and we welcome feedback. Please email any comments/suggestions to Dr Patricia Connell at haemscreening@kcl.ac.uk
